To support innovation, we have established a vast array of core services that provide investigators access to cutting-edge technology. Our capabilities include sophisticated biomedical informatics, expertise in developing transgenic mouse models, unique cleanroom facilities for viral vector development and cell manipulation, a new pluripotent stem cell facility, high-throughput DNA analysis, advanced pathology services and more.

As an institution, Cincinnati Children’s understands the challenges placed upon our fellows and faculty. In 2010, the Office of Academic Affairs and Career Development was created to improve work-life balance for faculty and fellows,
along with other goals. The OFD has created webpage resources,
seminars, and a Core Leadership Program to provide the resources, programs, and support to help fellows and faculty achieve their
career goals.

• At Cincinnati Children’s, we collaborate with families on many levels, including the development of evidence-based care recommendations.  We believe the best way to care for children is to make the family part of the health care team.  Parents and family members are a child’s main source of strength and support, and they are the one constant in the child’s care. 
• We recognize the patient and his/her family as the focus of care and include them in all decision making about treatment options so the best strategy for the patient can be reached.
• In 2013, Cincinnati Children’s served patients from all 50 states and 53 countries, a 23 percent increase from 2012.

Cincinnati Children’s is committed to being the leader in culturally competent, family-centered care. Our goal is to create an inclusive environment for patients, families, and employees, in which diverse views and backgrounds are considered and respected as we work together to pursue innovation and improve outcomes. 

DiversityInc announced that Cincinnati Children’s took the fourth spot on the 2014 Top 10 Hospitals and Health Systems List. Our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and cultural competence is a strategic choice that benefits not only our community, suppliers, and workforce, but it helps to ensure an extraordinary patient family experience.
